成语及其认知理据

成语历来是英语学习者最感头痛的一个问题 ,这不仅因为语言学界对成语的定义莫衷一是 ,更主要因为成语自身有着极其丰富的比喻意义

Voice and Identity in a Bicultural/Bilingual Environment

Researchers have noted that with the onset of adolescence, girls' voices become muted and school achievement drops. Girls learn that the expression of strong feelings leads to distance from others, and that full use of their bodies and minds cause others discomfort. Self-esteem suffers and girls become at risk for destructive behaviors. Most studies have been done with middle class Caucasian girls. Those few studies done with young girls of color speak of girls on the margin who seem to resist losing their voices and their self-esteem. This article describes a study involving 5th–8th grade girls participating in an Advisory group program at a grammar school in a predominantly Mexican community of a large city. Group sessions were taped and analyzed for common themes including voice and self-esteem. Focus was directed to the influence of the bicultural/bilingual environment in analysis of group content. Implications for practice are included.     

Effects of a multimodal activation program (SimA-P) in residents of nursing homes

Is it possible to maintain or even enhance functional and cognitive independence in residents of nursing homes? Little is known about the potentials and limits of therapeutic methods designed to maintain independence in elderly people already in need of residential nursing care. The aim of the “Rehabilitation in Nursing Homes” research project was to determine the practicability and effectiveness of a rehabilitative approach targeting residents of nursing homes. The main objectives of the activation program were to maintain and enhance residents’ cognitive and functional autonomy. Data on psychological, functional, and medical variables were obtained from a sample of 294 nursing home residents (age range?=?70–99 years) at three points of measurement over a 12-month period. The intervention approach draws on the theoretical and practical findings of the SimA Study (“Bedingungen der Erhaltung und Förderung von Selbstständigkeit im höheren Lebensalter,” “conditions on maintaining and supporting independent living in old age”; Oswald et al., Z. Gerontopsychol. Psychiatr., 15:61–84, 2002, Z. Gerontopsychol. Psychiatr., 15:13–31, 2002) and incorporates the results of recent therapeutic and rehabilitative studies in the fields of geriatrics and gerontopsychiatry. The intervention involves a combined program of cognitive and physical activation. An alternative program based on biographical information was designed specifically for residents with dementia. Results show that the intervention had significant effects on cognitive and functional parameters. Moreover, transfer effects were observed with respect to activities of daily living and frequency of falls.

本文首先从青少年成长、中国21世纪发展和应对国际大环境需要的角度，论述了加强学生思想教育的紧迫性；接着分析了社会舆论导向的三个认识误区；并提出了把静态教育变为动态教育的改革建议。     

“前”字所反映的汉民族的时间认知

汉语中存在大量的"前"字所组成的时间词。这些时间词反映出汉民族的时间是空间的认知,表现出汉语空间—时间隐喻的直线性模式。这其中又存在两套时间是空间的隐喻系统——"时间移动"隐喻系统和"自我移动"隐喻系统,依据两个系统绝大部分时间词的语义已"脱离语境化",但少数时间词的语义并没有完全固化,需要认知语境的参与,进行认知推理,才能获取其意义。     

The role of aspirations and aspirations adaptation in explaining satisficing and bounded rationality

The explanation of bounded rationality in terms of satisficing has been received with skepticism, but Simon's claim that satisficing reflects aspirations and their adaptation could help resolve the matter, particularly taking account of the amplifications introduced by Selten to include motivational factors. Experimental investigations by Guth and his colleagues provide some support. Open-ended, in-depth interviews by Bewley and Schwartz help explain the factors that influence aspirations (which may differ for different tasks), giving attention to affective influences and also to context. They suggest a positive but more complicated relationship between the relative success in realizing profits aspirations and the adaptation of those aspirations, and also in the consequences that aspiration levels have for bounded rationality.     

Cognitive Risk Factors to the Development of Anxiety and Depressive Disorders in Adolescents

This exploratory study examines cognitive risk factors, anxiety sensitivity, and positive and negative affect, as related to the development of anxiety and depression. In a mailed survey, adolescents completed the Child Anxiety Sensitivity Index and the Positive and Negative Affectivity Scale. Previous research utilized the broad and unified variable of anxiety sensitivity as a predictor of anxiety. In this study, we separate and examine the four specific factors of anxiety sensitivity: mental incapacitation concerns, social concerns, disease concerns, and unsteady concerns, and relate it to specific anxiety disorders and depression. Results indicate good convergent validity and improved divergent validity when utilizing the four factors of anxiety sensitivity as compared to using it as one construct. Results also suggest: (1) OCD and GAD share numerous similarities and (2) the importance of the role of negative affectivity in anxiety and depression. Being aware of the components of anxiety sensitivity and how they relate to specific anxiety disorders can help a social worker when rendering a diagnosis. Part of the data presented in this article was from David A. Dia’s doctoral dissertation.     

研究社会环境中的语言--从徐大明等人的《当代社会语言学》说起

研究社会环境中的语言,从而将社会纳入到语言研究的范畴,是社会语言学的主要特征。从语言学发展进程来看,社会语言学的这一研究模式是对现代语言学的一次冲击、一个新的提高。徐大明等人的《当代社会语言学》对源于西方的社会语言学进行了较为系统的介绍,同时也结合我国最新的社会语言学研究成果对现有的社会语言学理论进行了启发性的阐述,这对于我们全面、深入地了解这一学科及其在中国的应用无疑是有益而必需的。     

依存距离最小化是人类语言的普遍规律吗？

麻省理工学院（ MIT ）大脑与认知科学系的弗特勒尔等人对 37 种自然语言的进行了基于语料库的大数据分析,为人类语言中的依存距离最小化倾向提供了最新的实证依据,在科学研究领域引起广泛关注。 MIT 这项研究可能是迄今为止含有语言最多的依存距离研究,在普遍性的验证上较先前研究更为全面,在方法上也有自身的一些特点。但其结论与看法有多处值得商榷。早在八年前,浙江大学刘海涛团队对依存距离最小化倾向进行了较为深入的研究,推动了人们了解人类语言如何在普遍认知机制制约下形成与演化,也帮助人们更深入地认识人类的认知机制。这些研究充分体现了语言研究是一个具有交叉学科特点的研究领域,是多语言、大数据技术、语言的普遍规律、认知科学充分融合的学科。这四大因素结合起来的研究将会展现当代科学研究的光芒,并将对当代语言科学的发展起到重要的推动作用。
